I'm 35, and My Mom Is 63—These 5 Trends Are Getting Us Excited for Fall

by Bobby Schuessler

There is a 28-year age difference between myself and my mother. (I'm 35, and she's 63.) Despite the age difference, we tend to gravitate toward similar items because our aesthetics often mirror each other. Although, this probably isn't so shocking given that age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear. I should also note that fall is my favorite season. While my mom really loves summer, she also adores fall from a sartorial standpoint. And yep, there are actually five fall 2023 trends that we're both loving.

Below, you'll uncover the trends that are getting us excited for the season ahead. You'll notice everything from the color of the moment to a few trends that are highly wearable and could be styled in a multitude of ways.

Keep scrolling to check out the fall trends that get a yes from us, including visual inspiration for each from various fashion people.

The color of the season? Red. The hue has actually been a front-runner among the fashion crowd all year, and it will continue to rise in popularity come autumn. We're both excited to incorporate red with neutrals this season.

Super-slouchy blazers will still hold strong, but tailored styles will have a moment. My mom is particularly excited for this one, as she thinks that the ideal silhouette will make her simple outfits feel elevated.

The perfect fall wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a cozy knit. Oversize styles—like longline silhouettes (or even a knit dress)—are where it's at. I'll be pairing mine with trousers, and my mom will style her go-to pick with jeans.
